| This is an exclusive, one-of-a-kind, Official GM Licensed, pool cue. This cue was hand-crafted by world-renowned cuemaker Jerry Olivier and pool cue case maker, Ron Thomas, in collaboration with scrimshaw artist Sandy Brady.
This ebony, ivory and silver Belair cue and its accompanying carrying case are befitting of the Corvette name and image.
These excellent renditions of “functional works of art” when combined together, create a unique masterpiece to adorn the collection of any connoisseur of fine pool cues, Corvettes aficionado, art lover, or pool player.
Jerry Olivier, of Pearland, Texas, has been handcrafting exceptional, one-of-a-kind cues since 1995.
Mr. Olivier personally creates a limited number of fine instruments each year. He uses state-of-the-art equipment capable of exacting tolerances of fit and finish that result in a Belair cue that will be playable for many generations.
Jerry drives a ‘78 25th Anniversary Corvette that was previously on display in the Corvette museum and also owned a ‘97 Corvette.
Master case-maker, Ron Thomas of Lafayette, Louisiana, has been handcrafting fine leather custom cue cases for over 25 years! Ron's Exotic Series cases sell for as much as $850!
Scrimshaw artist, Sandy Brady of Mondova, Ohio has been a scrimshaw artist for over 30 years. Sandy began winning art awards and honors in 1991. Ms. Brady’s scrimshaw art work is in private collections all over the world and on display in many museums.
The cue and case were commissioned for Dick Abbott.
And lastly, I am proud to mention that my Corvette pen & ink art was used by Sandy Brady as reference for the creation of her scrimshaw work.
